Uma Maheswari’s murder in Siruseri IT Park, Chennai has
provoked lots of opinions in the media. The public take a vicarious pleasure in
gleefully pointing a finger at the IT/BPO sector, “These IT companies don’t bother about their employees’ safety. They
just want to make money.”

My question to these
people is simple.

Atleast 5 to 6 lakh people are working in IT/ITES sector in
Chennai and suburbs. Chennai population is 46 million with another 15 million working and residing in Chennai.. So we can say around 10% of Chennai
population is working in IT related companies.

The murder statistics point out that around 200 homicides happen in Chennai
annually. So how can one expect that
such a big chunk of population, of which 30% are women, be insulated from
crime?!

Even by a simple back-of-the-envelope-calculation 2 lakh
women are employed in IT/ITES sector. How can one expect that there cannot be
an aberration?

If murders of IT women are happening in a pattern, there is some
substance in blaming the system. Does anybody see a pattern of homicides in
employees of IT sector?!

IT sector is a soft
target for media

When a woman working in export garments industry is
murdered, does everyone start blaming the garment industry?!
If a woman working in a supermarket gets murdered, do the people start accusing
the retail industry?
It beats me, why IT sector is immediately blamed when a murder takes place! In
fact they are one of the few sectors which ensure transportation and have put
in place some security mechanisms in place for employee safety.

Safety is 3 layered
and one weak link in the system exposes the entire chain

As I often say, safety is 3 layered -
1) Individual level – awareness, peer group & habits
2) Community level – company, residential premises
3) Government level – Lighting, Transportation, Policing
The lapse in any of these levels is a high probability. That one lapse exposes the weak link in the
entire chain of safety.

Summing up –

Look at the big picture. Chennai is a comparatively safe place. NCRBstatistics (Table 1.5) have reaffirmed it again and again, every year.

IT sector provides safe and secure workplaces. There is no
pattern of crimes to jump to hasty conclusions.

The Dynamics of Police encounters - Part 2
The background of encountered criminals - Venkatesh PannaiyarThis was an encounter which resulted in the transfer of the charismatic Vijayakumar IPS, the then Commissioner of Police, Chennai. Read on to understand how the police fight crime with one arm tied behind their back. Also how the media, which cant shed its caste and community prejudices, packed off an efficient officer from the state itself, in spite of delivering whatever assignment given to him. VENKATESH PANNAIYAR - THE BACKGROUND
The diminutive and nattily dressed Venkatesh Pannaiyar won’t physically fit the prevalent image of a don.
But he is a product of generations of caste feud plaguing Southern TamilNadu. His family is from Moolakarai near Tuiticorin; an area with the dubious reputation for making country bombs and gun running.
Venkatesh's uncle, grandfather - important elders of their community have been murdered by Dalits, when he was a boy. Venkatesh, grew up as a…

After the Guwahati incident, wherein a girl was sexually molested
by around 30 men, I have been getting calls from concerned parents and IT/BPO companies
which employ women; all enquiring about
self-defense courses. Suddenly here was
an ugly reminder of the safety of women on Indian streets. “Oh..come on..it’s the same all over the
world. .tell me..if the girl is walking outside a bar at that time, what does
she expect?!” shrugged one middle
aged man, while another waved the whole the thing away with a generic dismissal , “She is a victim of the angrezi pub culture”But the truth is more ugly and accurate, as these facts below point out.
The security of woman in India is amongst the lowest,
globally ( Source - http://www.womanstats.org) The more startling fact is, even war-torn Somalia is rated a
better country in terms of safety of women! India is at the bottom 4 along with
Afghanistan, Congo and Pakistan. (Source -www.trust.org)

In a sudden confrontation, people often freeze. Even martial-art practitioners and military soldiers are not exempt from this comatose response. First we will look at why this happens and later we will see how to train the body and mind to avoid this freeze. WHAT HAPPENS DURING 'THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT' SITUATION The technical term is Tachypsychia. In this neurological condition due to a sudden surge of adrenalin in the blood stream, the following happen - • Heart beat can rise up to 300 bpm, resulting in high Blood pressure. That’s why many faint in a crisis. • Heavy breathing due to dilation of airway to lungs. • Limbs don’t move, as body prepares for defensive foetal posture. • Dilated eye pupils, which produces visual exclusion known commonly as 'tunnel vision'. That’s why people lose peripheral vision. • Auditory exclusion also happens. That’s why people in shock appear deaf and seem to be far away, in their own world. • Epinephrine dump in the brain makes Time either speed u…
